Josh Leffel from North Manchester opposes POET Bioprocessing's carbon capture project, fearing it jeopardizes his family's home and health. POET, which produces fuel from corn, plans to capture CO2 emissions and store them underground, claiming environmental benefits and financial incentives.
Leffel, who built a home near the plant, was unaware of the project’s implications until recently. He cites concerns about well water contamination and pipeline safety. Currently, a moratorium from the Wabash County Commission halts the project, which POET is contesting in court. Leffel appreciates the commissioners' response and emphasizes community opposition.
